Set realistic goals towards your final vision

Ryan Donohue

More often than not if people fail to achieve their vision, it’s because they have been unrealistic with what it is they have set for themselves.

It goes way beyond the timeline they have in mind and they lose interest. They are overwhelmed by it. You need to use common sense, first and foremost.

The goals we set ourselves are personal to us and won’t always be the same as everyone else.

Firstly, write them down. You need to have a realistic timeline of achieving your aims. They need to be personal to you, and they need to be relevant to your current level of fitness, or general well-being. You need to know what you want to achieve, and put a date on it.

Set your ‘vision’ as your long term goal. We use the term vision, as it’s more powerful than goal, when it comes to what you want to achieve, look like, or feel like.

Your goals are stepping stones to your vision. They are short term ie to lose three pounds a week for the next four weeks. Your long term ‘vision’ is many steps away, but each goal you hit is one step closer.

You need to find something you like doing. This way you’re more likely to stick to it. You need to be inspired by what you do.
